Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Inter-Microservice communication


Microservices can rarely be designed in a manner that they do not need to communicate with each other. However, if you base your Microservices system on the DDD principle, there should be minimal communication required between the participant Microservices.

Cross-domain interactions of Microservices help reduce the complexity of individual services and duplication of code. We will take a look at some of the communication patterns in Chapter 18Microservices Architectural Patterns. However, let us look at the various types of communication.

Communication through user interface

In most cases, the usability of a system is determined through the frontend. A system designed using Microservices should avoid using a monolithic user interface. There are several proponents of the idea that Microservices should contain a user interface and we agree with that.

Tying a service with a user interface gives high flexibility to the system to incorporate changes and add new...
